Director, I’m ready for my closeup.

December 31, 2007

I think I might need to be followed by a video crew at all times, preferably with a licensed physician on board.

Apparently, I have become a douchebag, someone who could easily be featured in those jackass films(that I’ve never seen), someone who apparently doesn’t think.

Is it rational to blame it on scotch/whiskey/rye?  Apparently rye makes me want to kill everyone and lick things, scotch makes me think it’s a good idea to go snowboarding for the first time ever at 3 A.M when standing is a feat in itself, and whiskey…well whiskey is a bitch.

Well, I had scotch last night. And yes, I went snowboarding for the very first time…sort of. The boots were about 4 or 5 sizes too big, and I was more then half-cut, but yes, I wanted to take the challenge. And I did.
Of course the whole thing pretty much consisted of me whining, freaking out and falling down(at least 4 times down one fairly small hill), and holding on for dear life to someone I had only met maybe 2 days prior, but he still took good care of me. Yay for nice people!

I have a marvelous collection of bruises covering my legs, and my tailbone feels like it’s going to explode. BOOM!

If I had to describe the feeling, I would probably say that it feels like it’s where death comes from.

Would I change a thing? Hell, NO!
I’m actually ready to try snowboarding again. I’d like to say I’m ready right now…but even just sitting down and getting up is fucking hilarious as it is…I don’t want to push it. Haha. And this time, I would go sober…or at least not so fucking wasted.

I had a good teacher, if it weren’t for him, my face would probably have ended up embedded in the hill and would most likely still be there. Or I would have died…either way, right?

And that was only a portion of my idiocy.  I thought it was a good idea to challenge a bouncer(a guy who tackles drunk bitches for a living). I told him I could flip him if he “old dirtied” me.  And “old dirty” is essentially a choke-hold.  Well, I have training in self defense and on a regular basis, I probably would have at least tried to flip him but, he grabbed me in a kitchen…I was not going to flip this guy(or try to flip this guy)over in someone’s kitchen.
So well, let’s just say that I now know what it feels like to be choked unconscious. As fucked as this will make me sound, it was really fucking awesome.  I’ll admit…I was terrified, but because he was my friend I trusted him. Next thing I remember, I was on the floor and things were foggy.  Pretty intense, right? Sure, why not? (Oh, and I didn’t piss myself or vomit!!! Woohoo!! Haha!)

Yeah, I rock. Haha. Ok, maybe not so much.

It’s funny but the only thing I regret is that this was only yesterday. I should have tried this stuff a long time ago(mostly the snowboarding…not so much the passing out on the kitchen floor..oops). I wish I had met these people before.
Oh wait, I do regret one more thing about that night…All my fucking bruises…And the only reason I regret them is because I have to wear a fucking dress tomorrow. A formal New Year’s Eve party at a friend’s place. Oh well, that’s what tights are for. Fuck.

The chemicals are restless in my head

April 29, 2007

This weekend has been pretty insane. And by insane…I mean insanely fucked…
It’s like your parents having sex: you know it’s normal, you know it had to have happened at some point, but you don’t want to think about it, and you do your damnedest to completely avoid having to consider the topic. (See? Now I made you guys all uncomfortable..Well, get over it. YOU’RE PARENTS HAVE SEX YOU DOUCHEBAGS…or have at least once…)

Okay, so maybe that analogy will only make sense in my mind…but I’m running on about 2 hours of sleep for the past two very busy days, and I’m recovering from some temporary stupidity. Give me a break.

In short, this weekend probably drove me slightly closer to the edge. If I wasn’t crazy before…I am now.

Summary:
- Met a boy. Became completely smitten with said boy, lost it(and didn’t care), and then it came back with intensity, and went away again just as easily as it came. (In 2 days)
- Saw someone, talked to, danced with, damn near spent more time with someone whom I’d been hoping to see for the longest time, and had just recently pushed out of my mind, and had hoped not to see anymore. Needless to say, what was gone has now returned with a vengeance.
- Lost my shit in a way I’ve never experienced before. Too many chemicals in my system and not enough sleep, I suppose.
- Couldn’t stop smiling for something that I am kicking myself for now.
- Fell in and out of love with my life repeatedly. 
- Two days, two after-parties, two boys, two hours of sleep, two pills. Hell knows how much alcohol.

How do you measure stupidity? Iwish I knew and then maybe I could be into perspective just how ridonk I feel.

Don’t get me wrong, this weekend was awesome. Met some awesome people. Had some awesome times. Had a smile on my face for the better part of it. But goddamn my brain won’t shut off and leave me alone. Shut up, brain, stop making me think about what I don’t want to think about.

Unzip my body, take my heart out.

Season Finale – So You Think You Can Dance: Zombie Dance(Ramalama Bang Bang) 

Bang, bang !

Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you’ll live forever
If you’re bad, you’ll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
‘Cause I need a beat to give this tune

Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

Unzip my heart

And if I need a rhythm
It’ll be to my heart I listen
If it don’t get me too far wrong

And if I
And if I
And if I need a rhythm
It’s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don’t take me too far gone

Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

Yes…yes I think I love this song. It’s in my head almost constantly and I have So You Think You Can Dance to thank for putting it there and introducing it to me. I can say that when the original dance aired, I was online in about 2 seconds flat downloading the song.

I love Roisin Murphy. All of her songs are amazing and my current fave is Never Enough (which is actually Boris Dlugosch featuring Ms. Murphy)

This song in particular brings back fabulous memories of summer and careless camping adventures. Yes, in the middle of nowhere, at any time during the day or night, when this song came on, we re-enacted this dance. And believe me, over the course of 4 ro 5 days, we re-enacted it alot…sometimes on repeat.haha.

This song actually means so much to me. The words are amazing, the memories are impossible to beat, the dance always makes me smile, and the beat isn’t bad either.

Amazing song. Period.

Saturday night SHITSHOW!

January 28, 2007

Can I really tell the story? This is one of those “you had to be there” things.
And I am so happy I was. This is one of the best nights I’ve had in weeks.

I will try to recount the tales of our drunken adventure, however, my memory may be slightly lacking or blurred.

The night begins at exactly 7p.m.
7 p.m:
Jayjay and I had decided that we were going to start predrinking at that time. But of course, the girl that I am, I was only ready by 6:55. So I decided to go out and have a cigarette and then call Jayjay after my nicotizing myself. The minute I stepped outside a car pulls up and starts honking at me. It was Jayjay and Kelsey. I was then told we were leaving. Now. Um, ok?

After stopping for some necessary provisions we go off to Jayjay’s place. This basement made me want to cry. In every good way possible. Seriously. A drum kit, an electric guitar, a bass, a keyboard, an Xbox 360, a chalkboard, a punching thing and a bed. And a tambourine. What more could one really want?

I quickly picked up the electric guit and proved that I had no idea what I was doing. Just like Kelsey proved that she can’t play the drums.

I was then presented with a flower vase for drinking. Really, that thing had to be a fucking flower vase….
That little extra flavor zing is just plant food. No big.

Steph showed up and became our groupie.

Well I quickly barrelled through 3/4 of a bottle of green sourpuss and a little bit of Mountain Dew.
It then became quite apparent that I have become an easy drunk. I was gone when normally that amount would have just resulted in a buzz.

I professed my love for Jay after he played some Nirvana for me. Haha.

The topic of conversation turned to sex as it always does. And well, you had to be there. But I will say this: I don’t know how many times I yelled “I don’t want to see your penis!!”

8:30 p.m (I think):
Jay’s mom was nice enough to drive 4 drunks to the strip club. When I asked Jay if he had Lithium by Nirvana, his mother thought I was asking for actual Lithium. her response to this : “not on me”. AHAHA! i love this woman.
At the Maytag(as we affectionately call it), we were met up by Catherine.

We went inside and were quite disappointed that there were no boobs. Really, it’s a Saturday night and no one is naked? DAMMIT LADIES GET TO WORK!

Anyways, after a few drinks and a little more drunkeness, Micheal showed up. We attacked him.

We then went on to insist that Jay jump on stage and lay down with a 20 in his pants. He went to the VIP lounge for an unforgettable lapdance instead…hahah. Eh, Jayjay? (note that unforgettable does not necessarily denote good…in any way)

9:45 p.m. ( or around there):
We leave the Maytag and take a taxi van. Quite exciting if you ask me. We actually have a video of some of it.(I’ll post it later hopefully.)
We get out at the Gall. As soon as we step outside the van, I reach into my pocket for a cigarette and realize, that yes, I lost my cellphone. Well I must have lost it in the van. I turn around and the van is gone.
So we tried calling my phone and no one answered at first, so we called the cab company. Told them where we had come from and gone to, and that it was a van, and found out that yes they had my phone.
Though he would only bring it to me on his next call. Lovely.
So I stood outside freezing, insisting that the others go inside, and that I could wait alone.
Well, apparently the cabbie decided to answer my phone the whole time he had it. Which means about 4 or 5 calls. Lovely. Luckily, he was nice.

So after getting my cellphone back, I went inside and played the best pool game of my life. Kelsey and Jay were a team, and Steph and I were a team. I sank pretty much all of our balls, and Kelsey resorted to “inconspicuously” slipping balls into the pockets when we “weren’t looking”. It still resulted in them having 3 balls left on the table while we had nothing but the 8 ball. Well guess what? I scratched. Go me. Boooo.

11p.m.:
Leaving the Gall we found a Lexus in the parking garage. We went on to rape that vehicle, just like we had raped a Mercedes earlier in the night.
Micheal and I went a different way and were picked up by Trisha near the Brick, where Micheal and I played Vanna White. Or Bob’s Beauties. Man I love the Price is Right. Ok….to continue.
We went to The Vic, which was finally reopened after some legal crap, and there was a live band playing. We decided that after paying 5.50 for a shot…each…and many drinks at the Maytag, we didn’t want to pay a 5$ cover to see a band for like half an hour, who didn’t actually sound that good from the outside.

So to Gibby’s we go!!!

I bought a round of shots. And by then we were all tanked. But we still drank. Because we’re fucking troopers, okay?

We took a picture with the infamous Gibby, which I have to print a copy for so that she can post it on her wall. How cool are we?

12:15 p.m.:
It’s time for Amigos. Oh, Amigos how we love you.
I love us. Really. All of us dirty dance with each other like it’s nothing. No one is ever ditched or left out. It’s awesome.
And now all this dancing called for a few more drinks, of course.
At one point, I wrapped my arm around Jayjay’s neck, looking like I was going to dance with him and slyly dropped a nice big chunk of ice down his shirt. Cool down, boy. Haha.

I made Steph promise to act like my boyfriend should a creepy latin greaser who was lurking around came anywhere near me.

There were so many people we knew there, it was amazing. There was also frequent exchange/stealing of hats going on. That’s what Aaron and Andre get for wearing such awesome hats.

I was also grabbed by some chick who put one hand on each of my cheeks squished my face and pulled me in close and squealed “EVERYONE’S HEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRE”. Um, who are you?

It was a friend of mine’s birthday, so when I saw her, I wished her a happy birthday and then went on to wish everyone with her a happy birthday too. I think they figured out I was drunk after that one.

At the end of the night, Trisha and I ended up outside before everyone else, because we were the only ones who didn’t check our coats….

After about 15 minutes of waiting and freezing, I called and insisted that come out NOW, so we could go get chinese food.

Jayjay in a drunken stupor started talking to everyone he even sort of knew. So I was forced to drag him by the waist of his pants away. All the while muttering under my breath that my hands were so cold that I could easily stick them down a boy’s pants and cause so much shrinkage, he would turn into a girl for a week.

Well we were met up by Micheal, once again at The Brick, where Jay tried to pee. And eventually after about 10 minutes finally found out how to whip it out, and peed on The Brick door. I told him to use the drop box slot but that would have involved too much coordination I suppose.

So Trisha, Jay, Mike and I all head to the London cafe for Chinese food. We sat down, had some water, realized that half of us couldn’t read the menu and that it was getting to late for those who had to work in the morning and left without ordering. Woo.

That would be the tale of our amazing shitshow. I vote we make this a weekly event.
